Happy Valentines Day, and Happy Birthday EmmaLee! It sounds like everyone is happy at home. In Brazil they have a Valentines Day, but it doesn´t happen in February, I think it happens in October or something...
This week was just work. Not a lot of crazy things happened that I can thing of, but I do have one little story. Last week when I was writing you guys, a drunk guy entered, and passed out the floor. Then another guy passed and said, "Be carefull! He's armed!" and then the drunk guy got up and pulled out a huge knife from his pants, and ran out of the lan house chasing the other man. Then the drunk man returned, waving his knife all around. All of the missionaries were hiding behind chairs, and the drunk guy started hitting his knife against the ground. Then he sat down and started break dancing. He left soon after and started break dancing for the policeman outside... you only see this kind of thing in Brazil :)
Other than that, I really don´t have anything else to report. We baptized a boy this week. Josenildo. He´s awesome. 100% elect. We met him at church two weeks ago. He just went because the lady he works for is a member. We went to his house and taught him about the Book of Mormon, and then the next time we passed by he´d already read 11 chapters by himself. He had a bunch of questions about the tree of life, so we answered all of the questions, and then taught him about Joseph Smith, and asked him to pray to know if the church is true. The next time we were there we taught the commandments, and he stopped drinking coffee, and then chose to be baptized this Sunday. I think he has potential of being a missionary someday.
I´m sending two pictures. One is of Elder Possamai on the bus ride to church. He´s my zone leader. The other picture is of Josenildo's baptism.
Like I said, we just worked really hard this week, and didn´t see a ton of crazy things. Thanks for all your letters. I´m so thankful that I have so much support.
